卦辞The Judgement

涣:亨,王假有庙,利涉大川,利贞。Huàn. Prosperous and smooth. The king brings his virtue to the temple. Favorable to cross great rivers. Favorable to be steadfast and upright.

正在面对涣散、瓦解、人心散乱的局面。坎水在下属水居北方,巽木在上属木居东南——风吹在水面上,水波被吹散。水生木,风把水吹成水汽,水汽滋养了风——涣散中也在转化,散不是消失,是换了一种形态。要主动去凝聚——可能用精神信仰、共同目标、仪式感、强力领导。涣散是必经的,但要在涣散中重新建立连接。

You face a state of scattering, breaking apart, hearts gone astray. The lower trigram Kǎn is Water, element Water, in the north; the upper trigram Xùn is Wood, element Wood, in the southeast — wind blowing across the water's face, the ripples scattered. Water generates Wood: the wind turns water into vapor, and the vapor nourishes the wind — in scattering there is also transformation; to scatter is not to vanish, but to change form. The cure is active gathering — through shared belief, common purpose, ritual, or strong leadership. The scattering must come, but new ties must be built in the very midst of it.

大象The Image

《象》曰:风行水上,“涣”;先王以享于帝立庙。Wind moves over the water: the image of Dispersion. The ancient kings, accordingly, made offerings to the Supreme and raised temples.

六爻The Six Lines

01
初六Initial Six

初六,用拯马壮吉。Engaged in rescue with a strong horse. Good fortune.

用强健的马来拯救(涣散)——坎水初爻,水刚开始散,吉。在散乱开始时主动出击、建立秩序。

Using the strong horse to rescue (the dispersal) — Kǎn's Water, first line, the water just beginning to scatter — good fortune. At the first sign of scattering, take initiative and set order in place.

02
九二Second Nine

九二,涣奔其机,悔亡。In the scattering, run for a place of support. Regret vanishes.

在涣散中找到自己的依靠(机)——坎水中唯一的阳爻——乱中要找定锚点,悔意消失,悔意消失。乱中要找定锚点。

Finding one's footing in the dispersal — the one yang line within Kǎn — in the chaos one needs an anchor, and the regret dissolves — regret dissolves. Even in chaos one needs an anchor.

03
六三Third Six

六三,涣其躬,无悔。Scattering one's selfishness. No regret.

涣散自己——坎水到三爻,水流散了,把自己的小我放下。能做到这一步,没有悔。心思要放在更大的格局上。

Letting go of the private self — Kǎn's Water at the third line, the current scattered — letting go of one's small ego. The one who can reach this state has no regret. Put thought on the larger picture.

04
六四Fourth Six

六四,涣其群,元吉;涣有丘,匪夷所思。Scattering one's faction. Sublime good fortune. The scattering forms a mound. This is beyond what ordinary people think.

涣散自己原来的小圈子——巽风初爻,风刚开始吹,大吉。涣散到形成新的山丘(更大的格局)——是非常人能想到的。

Breaking up one's old small circle — Xùn's Wind, first line, the wind just beginning to blow — great good fortune. Scattering until it forms a great mound (a wider whole) — this is not what an ordinary person could conceive.

05
九五Fifth Nine

九五,涣汗其大号,涣王居,无咎。Great proclamations pour out like sweat. Dispersing from the king's seat. No fault.

用号召力把涣散的人心收拢——巽风居中,风力最大,像汗一样自然散开又收起。在尊位上能做到这点,没有过失。

Calling the people back together at the scattering point — Xùn's Wind centered, the wind at its strongest — like sweat releasing then drawing back. To do this from the high place is no fault.

06
上九Top Nine

上九,涣其血去逖出,无咎。Scattering one's blood. Get out, keep a distance, go away. No fault.

涣散掉自己的鲜血(伤痛)——巽风到极处,风把一切都吹远了,远离伤害。能放下旧伤的人才能真正前进。

Letting go of one's old wounds — Xùn's Wind at its extreme, the wind blowing all of it far away — keeping a distance from danger. The one who can release the old hurt can truly move forward.
